Glory Riding and Cutting

Chapter 259: Ballista

"put!"

The officer who commanded the catapult position swung his sword and roared loudly. Then the soldiers immediately controlled the catapult to shoot. Dozens of boulders flew in the direction of the city wall. Some of the houses of the less unlucky people were shattered on the city wall, but some potholes were also left on the city wall.

The last part successfully fell into the soldier's position on the city wall.

"Push the crossbow!"

Under the cover of the troops in front, several huge machines were slowly pushed onto the battlefield. These siege machines were named crossbows by Ronan, who bought the blueprints in the system and handed them over to Matthias Jean. He and Magna arranged for them to be hand-built. These machines are three meters high. The outer skin is covered with iron to strengthen the defense. The back is a place for the soldiers to climb, and the front is two huge ballistas.

The middle position of the crossbow ladder is a section ladder made of rolled iron and wood. The front end is a thick and sharp solid iron with a barb arrow, which can be deeply shot into the wall and is not easy to fall off.

These several crossbow ladders were slowly pushed to a position more than 100 meters away from the city wall. This is also the current limit of these crossbow ladders. If they are farther away, there will be some lack of strength. If the arrows in the front section fail to get stuck inside the city wall , then it can't bear the weight of the soldiers and the vibration caused by the spray.

The defenders on the city wall didn't know what it was, but they could clearly feel that if they were used, it would definitely affect their defense.

These crossbow ladders were specially requested by Ronan to bring Morysus here, in order to test the actual use of these crossbow ladders this time. It can be seen that Ronan had expected the meeting to collapse. There really isn't any sincerity.

"Aim!"

Each catapult is equipped with an army of 300 people, and the centurion in charge is ordering the soldiers who are responsible for controlling the ballista on the catapult to adjust the angle and aim at the target position.

"Launch!"

After all the ballista launchers responded that they were aiming, the centurion immediately gave the order to shoot.

"Bang! Bang!"

The rope was cut, and the ballista immediately made a loud noise and shot the arrow above it. The two solid iron arrows flew smoothly and quickly across the distance in the air, and the rolled up ladder immediately stretched out with the rope behind the arrows.

With a few loud noises, the city wall shook slightly, causing the soldiers above to sway. The officers guarding the city knew immediately when they saw the arrows embedded deep into the city wall and the ladders connected by ropes behind them. the role of these things.

The arrow has been deeply buried in the city wall at this time, only the end of the rope is exposed. The rope behind the two arrows is just connected to the ladder, which has been completely stretched and turned into a diagonal line. Upward long bridge. Four of the five crossbow bridges hit the designated position, and only one seems to be a little bit biased due to operator error. After smashing the city wall, the soldiers in that piece were directly smashed into a pile of minced meat and left on the city wall. It stopped after two scratches.

Before I could sigh the huge lethality of these ballistas, the commander who was guarding the city immediately roared loudly:

"Cut the ropes of those ladders!"

The soldiers near the crossbow ladder immediately climbed to the top of the crossbow ladder, and then held their shields and bowed their bodies and rushed along the ladder to the city wall. The position of the arrow is a little bit below the city wall. Just follow the ladder. When you run to the end, you can easily climb the city wall. The ladder is relatively wide and can accommodate two soldiers moving side by side.

The ladder is a little swaying, but overall it is stable. Although it has some impact on the sprinting speed of the soldiers, it will not stand unsteadily and fall below. The arrows are very stuck in the city wall and will not fall off easily. The ropes connecting the ladders are also made of very thin chains.

The soldiers defending the city kept slashing with big axes, but with little effect, they only added some shaking, but with their strength and the sharpness of their weapons, it was not a short time to cut these chains. Completed.

Not to mention that there are also archers who specifically target these soldiers. If they want to chop iron chains, they have to stretch out their upper bodies. Since then, they have no protection at all, and they are directly exposed to the firepower of the archers. , Basically, he was shot to death after a few slashes.

From time to time, soldiers who are running on the ladder are injured by arrows and fall to the bottom, but it doesn't matter at all. The advantage of this crossbow ladder is that you don't want to go up one by one or in waves like the cloud ladder and the siege ladder. You can keep attacking, knowing that no one else can keep up.

Trezeguet also took his troops and followed after the first group of shield-wielding soldiers climbed the crossbow ladder. The soldiers in front were blocking it, and Trezeguet behind him would not be attacked even if he did not hold a shield. .

Ronan's troops rushed to the city wall from all directions through cloud ladders, siege ladders, and crossbow ladders, basically covering the entire city wall that was under attack. The defenders soon became unsustainable because they were simply unable to destroy the siege of the Ronan army. Equipment, to prevent the soldiers from rushing to the city wall, some of the only defense equipment was destroyed by Ilanicus~www.wuxiahere.com~ The appearance of Kemira overwhelmed the last straw. After Kemira swung her flaming double swords from the sky, she headed the knight who was in charge of commanding the garrison. The garrison quickly collapsed and surrendered after Kemira showed her angelic posture.

The city gate was opened, and the war spread into the city. A team of knights guarded Ahab and other five noble lords to escape from the small gate in the north of the city, but before they could reach the city gate, they were dropped from the sky. Yesefa stopped him.

Under the impact of the light, the war horses fell one after another and threw the knights off their bodies. The leading knight shouted:

"You lead the Lord to spread out to the city gate, and we will hold it here!"

The knights who were barely getting up immediately helped the fallen lords and fled from both sides. Yesefa didn't pursue them either. His mission was just to find them. Naturally, someone else would take care of the rest.

He blocked the long sword chopped by a knight, and then grabbed the head of the other knight with his left hand and squeezed it so hard that the head and helmet collapsed, and then the light feathers behind him turned into a spear and penetrated the knight who was blocked by him. Then he lifted it up and threw it out, and Ye Sefa vibrated the light feather again and flew up.

Since Ronan upgraded the system again, its power has recovered somewhat, and the combat power at this time is no longer the same as before.
